This late-night, dry Old Fashioned-style cocktail unusually mixes tequila and applejack to great effect, with pleasing pear fruitiness and a wisp of mezcal
Appreciate the reply, Simon. I think you meant bitters and not absinthe. The next most popular Google link for this cocktail doesn't mention the bitters so I appreciate the extra context directly from Phil. I love this site and have used it for years but I find myself searching the same drink elsewhere often to check if the original is less sweet, etc. Anyhow, don't want to clutter the comments too much. Again, appreciate the added context.
